By Request

To the Officers and Patrons Of the Pa6lte RE
mary Schools Of jefferson County;
The teachers in the public schools OF JEFF
ferson county, in the hope of increasing the
efficiency of the work in the same have, az
ter mature deliberation and careful consid-
Grafton, adopted schedule of grades Tor
the primary schools. This scheme is not as
an experiment or novelty, but it has been
tried elsewhere and found to be effective and
is introduced into this county because few
of the teachers have already tried it and as
sure the Others that it cannot fail to prove
a blessing and benefit to both teachers
and pupils.
The schedule of studies and grades will
be printed aud a copy placed into the hands
of every teacher and school officer and it is
hoped that they will give it full and fair
trial
The teachers have been working hereto
fore without any definite object in view and
pupils have been made to go over the same
studies and same parts of the book year Of
ter year, but by the use of this schedule
they will be able to do a certain amount OF
work each year and have a definite object
in view-the passing from grade to grade
and finally to graduation, after the compile
ton of the prescribed course. By this
means more regular attendance will be Sc
cured, healthy spirit of emulation engen-
dered umong the pupils of the same school
and spirit of generous rivalry among the
several schools of this county as to which
can do the best work and succeed best in
the work. Then, when a teacher changes
school, he will know exactly where to begin
the work of the new school and will not
have to waste time in organizing and clas-
styling the school. The catalogue kept by
the former teacher shows exactly where he
is to begin and who compose his classes.
The teachers of this Institute, therefore,
beg that all the school officers, patrons and
teachers of the schools of this county will
give this plan fair trial and that the Press
of the county will lend its aid in this good
work, endorsed and approved by the unan-
imous vote of the Institute.
We most fully and cordially recommend
the schedule to all who desire the fullest
success of aur public schools and the best
results from the work of the same.

In this case Judge Jackson of the Circuit
Court of the United States for the District of
West Virginia decided recently at Parkers-
burg that, as there appeared to be ques-
ton of title to some real estate involved in
the controversy, such title should be tried
at the bar of that Court, and directed that
an action of ejectment for the purpose
should be instituted by the plaintiff against
the defendants. He required the defend
ants to give bond in the penalty of $4,000,
to be increased on motion of the plaintiff,
if proper, and shown to be so on aflidavits
filed, to indemnify the plaintiff for any
damage to said property, should the plain
till succeed and the defendants fail to re-
store the said property in all respects as it
was before defendants entered thereon; and
to pay all damages to plaintiff water pow
er by reason OF diminution, diversion or
injury by daming or otherwise, Festrain'
ing order to maintain the statps in qWO was
